Ranger Good Works is pleased to announce Career City 2018 is now taking RSVP’s for Wednesday, May 23, 2018

Please join us in bringing the “City of Ft. Lauderdale” to the students of Dillard Elementary. Students will experience firsthand what it feels like to take a walk through a safe and inviting city which has been created just for them. As they stroll through Career City, students will learn about a wide variety of industries and engage with professionals from our local businesses and organizations in a fun and inviting environment. After stepping out of Career City, they’ll take the first steps on the roadmap to their future!

{IMPORTANT FACTS }

98% of the students walk to school, are from single-parent homes and get their food intake while they are attending school. Most of the Dillard Elementary students have never traveled outside a five-mile radius of their neighborhood. Many of the students never had the opportunity to walk into a real grocery store, an office supply store, a bank, a flower shop or even a restaurant. The students are sweet, friendly and well behaved. The students have experienced a lack of exposure, they want and need a chance to learn and grow.

With your help, we can fill the streets with an exciting group of industry professionals. This is the perfect opportunity to share your success story and inspire the next generation of South Florida’s professionals. Your participation will help motivate the youth and show them that through hard work and academic achievement, professional success can be attained right down the street!

Questions? Call 954-527-0090 to speak with this year’s Community Coordinator Elle Corey Burton, (*Note: if more time is needed for setup, you may set up the day before after 2:00pm – Tuesday, May 22th.)

What do 73 Companies x 3 =? 219 Volunteers and Community Partners Showed up to teach students about their industry.

Ranger Good Works, Dillard Elementary teachers, staff, students and I would like to personally give you a ‘heartfelt thanks’ for the support you have given to Career City 2017 to help make it a HUGE success!

You shared your time and talent with the children to improve their lives by helping build their hopes and dreams for their future. You showed compassion and generosity. You were aware of the need to share your skills and knowledge. Boy oh Boy did you ever!!! 900 times!!! This was our first “all grades inclusive” attempt and it went just like it did last year. Outstanding!

To quote Martin Luther King, Jr.: “Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve…. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. “

We understand that you have many obligations and Ranger Good Works appreciates your being in attendance. Without you, our City would not be complete.
